<p>I use some of the same questions over the phone and in person (to see if<br />
the answers change or if I want more detail), but I mostly reserve the<br />
phone questions for the basic screening type questions. The questions<br />
that I ask over the phone (if I am doing the initial screening) are the<br />
ones that answer &quot;are you probably qualified?&quot; and &quot;is it worth bringing<br />
you in to talk to people face to face?&quot;. </p>
<p>For in person, I concentrate more on &quot;do I want to work with you?&quot; type<br />
questions. </p>

<p>I find running through portfolio reviews focusing on a candidate's<br />
philosophies and methodologies best for the phone screen and asking<br />
specific problems best for in person. Of course, the interview<br />
process all depends on resume, portfolio, and your instincts. Hope<br />
that helps.</p>

<p>One thing I've noticed (after several trial-and-error attempts) is<br />
that you don't want the f2f interview to be a re-run of the phone<br />
interview. So, what I've been doing in the latest interviews is<br />
pretty much ask most of the questions over the phone and leave the<br />
face-to-face for interactions I couldn't do over the phone, like<br />
asking the candidate to solve simple interaction design problems,<br />
whiteboard samples of workflows, etc.</p>
<p>That changes the dynamics of the face-to-face a bit: since most of<br />
the questions have been asked already, I take my time during the f2f<br />
to look for the candidate's attitude: his behavior during meetings<br />
(usually our f2f involve several people), the way of handling<br />
critiques, motivation, etc.</p>
